A gripping, twisty story of adultery and scandal from the bestselling author of Our House.

Some secrets are too dangerous to share . . .

When Emily Marr begins an affair with her married neighbour, the celebrated surgeon Arthur Woodhall, she has no idea of the tragedy and scandal their actions will cause. With shattering speed, she becomes the object of a media witchhunt, her only choice to change her identity and vanish.

Soon after, Tabby Dewhurst arrives on the Ile de Ré in France, estranged from her family and unable to afford even a room for the night. By chance, she meets Emmie Mason, whose offer of friendship is at odds with her obsession with privacy. As Tabby sinks deeper into Emmie's strange, hidden world, she begins to form suspicions - suspicions that will lead her back to England and to a revelation so shocking she must question everything she knows.

I listen to a LOT of audio books and shouldn’t have broken my own rule: always to listen to a sample. I was seduced by the Ile de Ré setting as I know it well- and I’d read another book by the author. The story is an undemanding domestic thriller lite and perfectly good but the reading of it is truly dreadful and comes so far between the story and the listener that it really does ruin it.
Apart from the ridiculous different voices for each character, which are ludicrous and intrusive - just bloody READ it!- there are infuriating mispronunciations of simple French words- femme, gare, pied and debuting are just a few examples - which could and SHOULD have been easily checked. Shame on the publisher too for such laziness. Ultimately too irritating to give the book even a fighting chance.

Loved the story and was riveted all the way through. Couldn't wait to find out what happened but was totally let down at the end. Don't know if it's just me but I didn't get it. What happened to eve and is it the real Emily Marr who lives with Arthur? What a let down.
In the positive I love Louise candlish books.
